I used to use it solely for sports news updates. Once Elon bought it, kept constantly getting politics news that I didn't want. Kept adding blocked terms hoping to not see it anymore. Nope. Kept getting pushed right wing bullshit. Deleted and never looked back. It helps that people have actually moved to Bluesky. The biggest issue I have is with Reddit and Lemmy not having the sports communities here. Game threads for Orioles games had 0 comments. I'm not going to just sit there and post to myself.

Talk about a gross mischaracterization of what is actually said in that blog post. You made it seem like Firefox is getting rid of ad blocking which is far from the truth of what that post says. It doesn't even mention ad blocking. Maybe don't editorialize a post and present it as fact.

I mean, machine learning and AI does have benefits especially in research in the medical field. The consumer AI products are just stupid though.

Yeah, I do the same with my mortgage. Statements emailed to me monthly so I never need to log in to get them (annual escrow statement as well). Payments made via my normal bank's Bill Pay feature. No reason to ever log in to my mortgage holder's website/app.

I've completely lost faith in places like Amazon. Used to be able to find decent stuff there but unless you're looking for a specific brand/item, it's all crap. Wanted to find some relatively decent priced workout shorts with a compression liner built in. There's so many shitty brands that all have the same damn images for the shorts. They're all just going to be drop shipped BS from China with no one actually standing behind the product. I'm back to B&M stores now like Dick's and their DSG line is actually reasonably priced and good quality.

Oh they already are. But if they start making porn subs like gonewild as paid services, those users are going to push the limits of whats allowed in other subs to try and just get people to stumble into their profile.

I can't even imagine the creators in those subreddits would be thrilled since so many of them seemingly use those subs as a free advertising spot for their onlyfans. More of them are trying to be creative with overtly sexual questions in askreddit and people just stumbling in to their profile.

I've tried but for some reason, I can never get them set up correctly and I'm not technologically illiterate. Its been a while since I tried it though since Floorp just works.

The biggest pro for me is the vertical tabs. It's got the same vertical tabs that Edge has which are great. I only use Edge at work but it's great especially when you have a web based production environment like nCino that you work in all day and have dozens of tabs open. You can group them up nicely and keep yourself organized. Floorp is based off of Firefox ESR so it's on an older build (but up to date security). The current build is based off FF 115 while FF is on 129 now.

To be fair, it only happens on the Promotions tab for me. They don't inject anything on my normal inbox (at least on PC).

I mean, I feel like that's going to happen regardless if you're using an Android phone. I don't think using a different app for GPS navigation is going to change that. I'm not saying we shouldn't push for more stuff to be opt in and allow people to have their privacy maintained, but in the market right now, the app you use for GPS isn't changing who is tracking you.
